Background and aims: Whether dynamic changes of liver stiffness
measurement (LSM) could predict the reversibility of fibrosis remains
unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the utility of LSM declining for
predicting histological changes of fibrosis in patients with chronic
hepatitis B (CHB) on antiviral therapy.
Method: In a prospective cohort of CHB patients treated with
entecavir, virology, biochemistry and LSM were measured at baseline
and every 6 months. Liver biopsies were conducted at both baseline
and 18-month treatment. Fibrosis regression was defined by two
criteria: (1) Ishak decreasing ≥1 stage, (2) Ishak decreasing ≥1 stage
or predominantly regressive by posttreatment P-I-R classification.
Piecewise linear mixed-effects model and ROC analysis were used to
evaluate the dynamic changes of LSM and its predictive value for
histological reversibility.
Results:We found that at month 18 of antiviral therapy, liver fibrosis
was reserved in 86 patients of 212 (40.6%) CHB patients by Ishak
reversal criterion. Overall, LSM declining was associated with
attenuation of Ishak stage. The rate of LSM declining in the first 6
months was significantly faster in patients with fibrosis reverse
(ΔLSM%Ishak = −2.19%/month, p = 0.0025; ΔLSM%Ishak/PIR = −2.56%/
month, p = 0.0004). The predictive model based on baseline FIB-4 and
Ishak stage as well as baseline LSM, PLT, ALB and their changes
during the first 6 months could predict the histological reverse
(AUROCIshak = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.67-0.80; AUROCIshak/PIR = 0.81, 95%
CI: 0.74-0.87).
Conclusion:We concluded that dynamic changes of LSM during the
first 6 months of entecavir therapy could predict histological
reversibility of liver fibrosis in CHB patients. |
